Hello, hello, and welcome back to Age of Wonders 4! This was the first episode that I was able to incorporate your many comments, so thank you again for sharing all of your thoughts and feedback. Most of this episode was mustering towards our first accidental war, but we gained quite a lot of information about the surface thanks to our fellow Necromancers at 38:29. Of course, the climax was the sacking of Gloomhollow that began with a pre-emptive strike at 43:22 and ended with the denial of surrender and glorious siege at 1:04:28. At 1:18:05, the Shadow Elves embraced their future in Undeath -- thanks for watching! (:

Great to see the series getting more attention, you deserve it. I like how Iratus got spontaneously adopted into a big boy undead alliance while behaving like an unruly stray cat. Now to do as cats do - look fabulous, get pats on the head and an easy victory while still continuing to fuck around and refusing to find out.

As some else mentioned having underground kingdoms that have a nature aspect eventual get access to terraforming which makes settling underground way easier. As it stand i do think the maap gen needs to seed more fertile caverns
@Fableheim Жыл бұрын
Nature is arguably the one affinity that you couldn't wiggle in to an Iratus roleplaying run, but that's good to know for the future! I probably won't do an underground start again, unless it gets revamped, but being able to terraform the underground makes it a more appealing possibility.
@kalzhae Жыл бұрын
I think for an underground build nature lore of magic is almost mandatory due to terraforming option that work underground, I think shadow also have terraforming option late gamme but it's for snow and i'm not sure it works underground
@Fableheim Жыл бұрын
Hmmm, that's a good suggestion! I'll still probably avoid an underground start until it gets revamped, but it could be a good way to nab resources from the Brutal AI.

I imagine with Iratus getting isekaied and finding out about this world, while he prefers his own company, he finds he enjoys the change of pace, allying himself with another necromancer on his way to conquer this new world!
@Grothgerek Жыл бұрын
You can just vassalize cities, or release cities as vassals. This way you keep the ressources and get a part of their ressources. This would have been a much better choice than razing the city, because you don't have any razing abilities that make it worth it.

You're right that it was better to forcibly vassalize them, but I was kind of just done with them after I accidentally declared war. XD

Great channel and let's play keep up the good work! Just a bit of advice on how to make the underground work first you need to get BASIC SEAFARING and TELEPORTER INFRASTRUCTURE. The underground has lots of rivers to help navigate it, the best thing to do would be to make a few more scouts and explore the place for potential outposts. The next thing to do would be to build teleporter improvements in every city and at the entrances to underworld build outposts with teleporter and wall upgrades. This should help with movement and exploration of the underground. The second thing to do is to look at your cities and make sure you have the right improvements on each tile and that they have the possibility to be next to a special provinces improvements. Take your second city surrounded by alot of quarrys, that's a great spot for a dark forge for gold and draft. Also the Temple wonder you have counts as a conduit with a research post bonus. So building a channeling tower + soulwell next to it will give adjacency bonuses. The last thing would be to put any special improvements that you can't get an adjacency bonus with, on the provinces where you can only build huts as it will still give better yields. Lastly if you find a better spot to build cities and don't have the city cap. It's best just to release the worst city as a vassal after building a teleporter and giving it any wonders you have cleared. This is great as the undesirable locations can be turned into resource farming vassals and transport hubs. This how I made the underground work with out playing a build with terraforming spells. It just takes a bit more planning but locking the other players out of the underground can be really powerful. Then when you're ready you can flood up to the over world destroy it or turtle up for a magic victory with ease. Good luck!!
@Fableheim Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the underground tips! My Underground didn't seem to spawn with too much maneuverable water area, except near that fire forge Wonder place that I found. Unless those spiked water areas are traversable? By the time I could get Teleporter Provinces, the Brutal AI was ready to cast the Magic Victory spell. XD
@tain1797 Жыл бұрын
Yes you can enter into the water with Spikes. It's looks like you can't but doesn't stop you. They basically act as canels through the underground. Also I figured out why you couldn't place the flesh camp where you wanted. If a province has any body of water in it, even a tiny bit you can't build special improvements. I don't know if this is a bug but it's won't work for me. Best of luck with the let's play!!!

Also forgot to say, I haven't tested it with artic yet but if cast a terraforming spell on the paths through the bedrock they become habitable. I have tested it with earth shatter from the tome of terramacy. It didn't destroy the bedrock but the path changed to Rocky so I could annex it.

I haven't played an undead run yet so I didn't realize the no morale thing. Makes sense though. I was fully on board with the tome of revelry bauce it is stupid good on notmal troops. I did a feudal warlike goblinoids run. Huge into materium, order, and chaos. The basically constant perfect morale plus other buffs giving my troops like a 100%crit chance was so good. Went full army buffs too so all my stuff was doing 40%+ additional damage when coordinated and were near indestructible to boot. TL:DR Magic is fun but don't overlook the full physical run. Once the war engine gets going there is no stopping it.

I've slowly been realizing just how insane Morale is in AOW4; it's very different from AOW3 where Undead's lack of morale saved you from a lot of headaches.
